The Start of My Battery Box for Truck Bed

My battery box is near completion. All that it needs is some hinges to that it will open and close. It was first resined then painted over with the bed liner you can buy at Autozone. The Sundown Logo is also painted on. There is weather strip around the top to help seal it up when shut. There will be more treated 2x4's placed inside the box to serve both as bracing and a holding back to keep the batteries from sliding. Right now, there will only be 2 Batcap 3000's in there, but the box can hold up to eight. Soon I plan to take a trip up to Innovative and Cory will help me install 10 runs of 1/0 to the box The box will be installed after I get my bed cover What ya think?

Nice..might have to take that idea. Putting batteries in bed gives lots more options for subs.

Once I get to work on installing the 10 runs of 1/0, I'm thinking about adding power and ground ring terminal distro blocks to keep all the wiring neat and at a low resistance. Looks like I may have to go to the scrap yard and get some thick copper
